Seeing a Urologist in Johor from Indonesia
Consultant urologist Dato’ Dr Azhar Amir Hamzah sees patients from Batam, Bintan, the Riau Islands and across Indonesia at four hospitals in Johor, and can discuss your symptoms in Bahasa Malaysia.
Why patients from Indonesia see Dato’ Dr Azhar
Johor is a short ferry ride from Batam and Bintan, and many Indonesian patients travel here for urology care. Dato’ Dr Azhar treats kidney stones, prostate problems, bladder conditions, men’s health and children’s urology himself, including surgery. Because he speaks Bahasa Malaysia, which is close to Bahasa Indonesia, you can explain your symptoms comfortably.
